Serial Connection with a Docking Station
In the event that communication with an IntelliRupter Control cannot be established over
the Wi-Fi link, a direct serial connection can be made to an IntelliRupter Control when it
is installed in the IntelliRupter Docking Station. The serial connection will permit inspec-
tion of control operation, and if necessary, allow reloading control rmware.
To establish a serial connection you will need:
• IntelliRupter Docking Station, Communication Module, and the Control
Module.
• Straight-Through 9-Pin Serial Cable
• PC Computer loaded with the latest IntelliRupter Fault Interrupter Software
Step 1
Power the Docking Station and check that the red LED is on.
Step 2
Locate the serial jumper cable on top of the docking station. It should connect the two
ports labeled Wi-Fi Serial to Control and Wi-Fi Serial to Comm. Unplug the end of the
jumper connected to Wi-Fi Serial to Comm, and plug the male end of your serial cable
into the jumper. See Figure 7. The jumper functions as a gender changer.
Step 3
Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial port on your computer, and make
note of the COM Port number. If you do not have a serial port on the computer, use a
Serial to USB adapter cable.
